Excerpts from Ko-fi crowdfunder text written by Eliza:

"Martin [Carthy]... has a new project celebrating the traditional music, poetry, dance and song of the East Coast of England, and has assembled a unique group of musicians, actors and dancers to bring it to life.

"First commissioned by the Norfolk and Norwich festival and staged in Brighton, Hull, Bewdley and Hartlepool since, East has grown into a moving and uplifting show, and Martin and Eliza would dearly love to record this epic work and put it out as an album.

"We reached out to some labels to fund this, but the recording industry is struggling at the moment and no-one can currently help us to get into the studio.

"As Martin is 83 we feel an urgency to act now, and are reaching out to you in our community to see if you would consider being a part of our beautiful work..."
